INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB)

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is an acclaimed, two-year pre-university course which is based not on the curriculum of a single country but which amalgamates the best elements of many national curricula. Containing features common to US high school curricula, English A-Levels/GCSE, and the French Baccalaureate to name a few educational systems, the IB programme is offered by more than 800 national and international high schools around the world. Students who meet the requirements of the program receive at the end of two years an internationally recognized IB Diploma.

Eleventh and twelfth grade students who enroll in the IB Diploma Programme must complete three higher-level courses, three standard level courses, the Extended Essay, the Theory of Knowledge course, plus a CAS requirement.
